Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Karl/Karla would also be a nice name for an echidna.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

How about Condoleeza Scalia von Rumscroft?

No no no, the echidna isn't evil enough. Helio Castr-r-r-roneves is way evil, with his dastardly schemes and twirling his moustache.

Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez, perhaps?

That isn't bad; but there's a D&D player in Australia who's called his character that, so I feel I shouldn't.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Unique want-ad spelling in the Mankato Freecycle group on Yahoo:

Wanted: Dehymudifer

My first thought was "Doesn't the sun do that?"

Gronk. Work should not be early.

Morning ev'one.

Still twitterpated.

What is even happening?

My daughter only likes canned green beans. I don't know why.
All three of my kids are the same way. When I serve fresh or frozen, they treat me like a traitor. I blame their father. I really should have taken his eating habits more seriously, when considering his proposal. I was all like *love* *hot* *funny*. Now I sit here, the mother of junkfood junkie spawn, and half corrupted myself.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cindy, I'm reading From Here to Maternity--the specific chapter on The Toddler Diet. And laughing my ass off. Of course I can see myself stealing Owen's chocolate milk and secretly cramming his animal crackers in my face while he's blissfully unaware (having distracted him with an Elmo DVD so I can binge on his snacks).

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hate. Job.

I try to take a sane view of things, keep things in perspective, think, hey, it's OK to not be at work if I'm sick, or take a lunch break, or, work less than 50 hours a week.

However. The work? Hasn't gotten the memo. The conference attendees? Are total fucking spazzes. They definitely haven't gotten the memo that IT'S JUST A FUCKING CONFERENCE -*please* please please please just fucking relax already? kthxbye!

Hee. I've never read it. I sneak cookies all the time though, because the kids expect me to be "fair" and I can't feed them the way I now eat (I didn't used to eat like this) or they'd be sick.

I miss baby food plums. Those were yummy.

Echidna name. Hmmm, Pokey. Pokey Pokerson?

Chololate Milk is good stuff, but unfortunately very expensive calorie wise.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Thanks for all of the support yesterday. I appreciate it more than any of you could know.

I'm feeling calm and happy this morning. I am not sure how long that is going to last, but I'll take it for now. Teacup Guy had work to do last night, which I know he felt bad about, but it was nice to just have him here typing away on the computer while I was curled up on the couch next to him reading.

I have my therapy appointment in an hour, and then I get to start on the new meds. Luckily I have a lot of people around this time willing to bring me food, etc, if I am not feeling well the next few days.

Sorry to have freaked out all over the thread this afternoon. I think I'm going to put a note up on my computer with a few questions like, "How's your blood sugar? Hormones? Are you sure you want to post this?"

Susan, you were fine yesterday. Also, what beth said.

I am glad you're feeling better today, sj.
